*TW* TALK OF CHILD ABUSE* TW*
"Sit down there," Apollo said, pointing to a bed. He had led them to a sort of infirmary.
"Is this necessary?" Percy asked, doing as he was told anyway.
"Please," Poseidon said. "I need to know what he did to you."
Percy sighed but nodded. If it would bring his dad comfort, then "let it happen I guess" he thought.
"Alright this might tingle a bit but don't worry," Apollo said walking over. "Lay down."
Percy did as tell and laid down on the bed. Apollo placed his hands on the boy's chest and stomach and closed his eyes. He started muttering under his breath and his hands started glowing. The glow spread to Percy and went to different parts of his body. Percy closed his eyes and tried to relax. After a minute or two, Apollo opened his eyes and removed his hands. The glow faded and a paper appeared in the air. Apollo grabbed it and read it over, eyes widening at the length of the list.
"What is it?" Poseidon asked worried.
Apollo was muttering under his breath. "Curses, Poison. More poison. Broken bones. Fire. Lava. Holy crap kid."
Percy looked down. The past few years hadn't been fun.
"This reading is not going to be fun for you is it," Apollo stated looking apologetic
"Nope," Percy said. "The last five years has been from quests anything before that, well."
Apollo nodded and looked back earlier, getting more and more upset. Gabe was a dead man.
"I will kill him," Apollo said.
Percy and Poseidon looked at him shocked. Apollo usually wasn't violent. The sun god shoved the paper at the sea god who read it over. He too, looked more and more upset.
"And you never told anyone about this?" he asked when he was done.
Percy shook his head. "I only told Thalia."
"And why not anyone else?" Apollo asked.
"Didn't want it to get worse." Percy said quietly.
Poseidon closed his eyes and tried to control his temper. He did not need to flood anything today.
"Okay. Okay." Apollo said, calming down a bit. "There is some lasting damage. A few wrongly healed broken bones. Do you want me to fix them?"
Percy nodded. "Please."
Apollo nodded. Percy laid down and he got to work. A few minutes later it was done, and all the wrongly healed injuries were fixed.
"Thank you," Percy said, slightly sore.
"No problem." Apollo smiled. "Now why don't we go get food."
Percy nodded and walked out.
"Thank you. Apollo." Poseidon said.
"No problem uncle P," Apollo said.
Poseidon nodded and walked out after his son. Apollo sighed, he liked this kid and was getting unusually protective, like he was his own son. He shook his head and walked out of the room to the kitchens where everyone else was eating.
